The United States is grossly obsessed with incarceration. Whether called “detention center,” “facility,” “jail,” or “prison,” these systems share the same unjust design: to incarcerate black and brown people and strip them of their dignity

ICE’s bids for TX contracts comes as ICE attempts to expedite detention expansion in CA via billion
contracts w/ private prisons. These schemes violate procurement law. Congress must hold ICE accountable for harmful contracting practices before Feb 17 #communitiesnotcages -
ICE is a rogue agency with one clear goal, to incarcerate and deport as many immigrants as possible. Communities across the country are fighting back and Congress must also hold ICE accountable.

Immigration detention is inhumane and should not exist. Congress has the power to stop this inhumanity and must act now.

201 people have died in ICE custody! Deaths and ongoing allegations of abuse should be reason enough to close down ALL detention centers. We demand our govt. choose
#CommunitiesNotCages & stop harmful contracts in CA & TX -
Since 2003, the Houston Processing Center has reported at least 9 deaths. The alarming death toll at the facility should be enough evidence to shut it down. We need Congress to do everything in their power to stop these contracts from happening.

In 2019, all 3 detention centers detained almost 22% of the average daily population in TX. All 3 are known to have facilitated family separations, as well as a wide range of mistreatment and abuse, including deaths and sexual assault.

ICE’s budget continues to grow & yet, people are still dying in detention & going on hunger strikes to protest their incarceration. The problem isn’t the need for better conditions or more $, the problem is ICE & the detention system it operates

Ongoing efforts to increase funding for ICE and increase the number of immigrant jails are further proof that this administration values corporate profits and police state infrastructure over the well-being, safety and dignity of communities.

Private prisons are profiting off of immigrant lives! Following CA’s ban on private detention, ICE awarded & extended contracts for 7 ICE jails, increasing detention capacity in the state.

Immigration detention in the United States is a financial market where people’s lives and suffering are being treated as profit. It’s time for our reps to value people over profit! Congress must act now and stop harmful detention contracts in CA & TX.

ICE is already overspending its bloated detention budget. We must recognize ICE’s constant, often unchecked, exponential growth of the immigration detention system for what it really is: a wholesale attack on immigrants under a white supremacist admin.

As detention grows in TX, rural areas are losing hospitals. Since 2010 17 hospitals have closed down due to cuts in healthcare funding. Meanwhile, ICE is proposing billion $ contracts to extend detention in TX for 10 more yrs. Our communities deserve better!

The South Texas Detention Complex, run by GEO Group, has a history of forcing immigrants into indefinite solitary confinement. In 2018, the facility earned the shameful distinction of being 1 of 15 ICE jails w/ the most placements in solitary confinement.

Texas already incarcerates 1/4 of all immigrants detained in ICE custody. We cannot allow for this to become the state’s reality for the next decade and serve as a model for detention expansion nationwide.
